alright, some test results from grass root motorsports first off:
also of interest, the hankook RS-3 has just hit tirerack today. price is $124 for 225/45-R15.
last week to get the RE-11 with the 100$ mail-in rebate.
kumho XS seams like the unbeatable bang for the buck at 91$ in 205/50-R15.
From the June 2009 issue. I have not gotten my copy yet but this is being reported on other forums(miata.net) so I should have my copy in a day or two. Tires were tested in 15 inch sizes on a ST honda civic
(Andy Hollis).
Tires sizes are 205/50/15 (RT-615, R1R, RE-11, XS), 195/50/15 (RE-01R), 195/55/15 (Z1 SS)
